iso_create doesn't add folders

[raisedfist]

Summary

When trying to add a folder/directory to an iso, using /path/to/folder in src_files, the module fails. From the output I can see ansible is parsing the content of the folder, but it doesn't add it to the iso.

files
├── a_simple_text_file.txt
└── scripts
    ├── 1.txt
    ├── 2.txt
    └── 3.txt

OS / Environment

I did tests on two VMs':
RHEL 8.6
Arch Linux

Steps to Reproduce

Using create_cd.yml playbook as below:

---
- name: Build CD
  hosts: localhost

  tasks:
    - name: Create iso
      community.general.iso_create:
        src_files:
          - "files/a_simple_text_file.txt"
          - "files/scripts"
        dest_iso: "mycd.iso"
        interchange_level: 3
        joliet: 3
        vol_ident: "test"

Running the playbook:

$ ansible-playbook create_cd.yml

Expected Results

Expected to have an iso containing a_simple_text_file.txt and the entire scripts subfolder.

Actual Results

$ ansible-playbook create_cd.yml
[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'

Hi @raisedfist Thanks for reporting this. We are waiting for the maintainer to pick this issue up.

Or maybe, @ZouYuhua , since you have worked on modules related to ISO files and if you have the availability, you could try and see if you can fix this issue. Just an idea - don't feel obliged.

@russoz
I will try to fix it. Thanks.

Thanks in advance for your effort.
